My friend you just abandoned us for the other thread(intelligent dudes scholarship thread). How you dey? wink The information you provided there is a pot of gold, but I need more information on UK Universities that are waiving application fees and have partial or full scholarship. A lot of US universities are doing same, waiving GMAT/GRE exams as well, but I haven't heard anything from the U.K.
90% of UK universities don't ask for application fees, GRE, GMAT, etc..
Scholarship is very competitive except if you are first class graduate

Greetings to everyone.
I checked online but couldn't see any right information. Please what course can you suggest for someone with History and International relations background to study at Masters level in UK?
Please I actually want something with good job prospect after graduation.

Thanks all.

Thanks for your response , I dont want to be too far from London reason why I chose those area , I've been to gillingham and Chatham but not gravesend

I dont drive so I want where there ease transportation

Thabk you

Have you visited this areas, to see what they really look like?

Try looking on right move, zoopla, ward and partners etc etc, for listed accommodations and prices.

Look more inwards like Strood or Rochester........

Rochester and Strood have train stations, linking you to sambisa forest sef ...... cheesy

If you intend to experience the tranquil lifestyle of the garden of England, you need to learn how to drive.....

The bus service is not cheap and no free bus passes for kids (as enjoyed in London)......

Any questions, please let us know

Good morning the whole house and well done for the good job you are doing here.

I need guidance please.

I’m a nurse and I moved to the UK January this year.

I’ve passed my OSCE and planning to bring my family members after the pandemic.

I wish to bring my husband and two children (both are below 18years)

I want to know what steps to take and the cost implication for the three (3) of them.

I’m planning against August so the kids can resume school by September (all things being equal)

Thank you very much

Oga na almost everywhere for England dey expensive. Even with my London experience, I believe is even cheaper to live in London than outside. Buses/Tube are mostly free for kids.

Please someone experienced should help me. How is Portsmouth in terms of cost of living and housing as I got an offer there and I need to accept or not? I'm confused about what I'm getting online.

Learnt that it's an expensive place( like London) and not too safe to live in as compared to other areas like Birmingham.

Any idea would be appreciated, thanks.

You mixed up so many variables in one question.
Everything is relative.
What is your idea of ‘expensive’?

Accomodation May be cheaper in Portsmouth than on London.

‘Not too safe’ is very very subjective.

There are areas in Maiduguri that are safer than some areas in Lagos.

Living cost of Portsmouth is not as expensive as London. Is a safe area to live. During Summer, you can enjoy the nice seaside. If you think of commuting from Portsmouth to London then the cost is much. You can be a Pompey fan.
